Our pastor preached a sermon titled: Living Worthy of the Lord. The question he said to ask ourselves is: “Am I living, walking, worthy or the Lord? Colossians 1:10 states: “so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;”. (ASB)
No one likes a traitor but many Christians behave in a traitorour way, not living their lives to please God. If you love God, then you will live a life that shows that love; bearing good gruit and seeking more knowledge of God. Being worthy will show these three traits:
1) Being loyal, bringing Him glory through our daily walk;
2) Doing good works that will glorify Him (bearing good fruit); and
3) Growing in knowledge of God.
The family of Christians should be standing firm, in one spirit, striving together for faith of the gospel. Philippians 1:27. Don’t allow your daily life, home or work, or church differences, to distract or turn you from the path that God has put before you. He keeps working on us, in us and through us, if we let Him.
I searched for two hours for the song to share today.
I found many good songs but this is the one that fits for me today! :-)

Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in the one Spirit,e striving together as one for the faith of the gospel 28 without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you...
Lord, today I bring prayers for healing for many sick with flu bugs, but particularly for special healing after surgery for friends, Meghan and Lanet.
Also Lord, show me each morning how I can walk that day to be pleasing to You.
